Application for caregiver and housekeeping benefits dismissed due to inconsistent and unpersuasive evidence.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought caregiver and housekeeping benefits under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.
The insurer paid benefits initially but terminated them.
The arbitrator dismissed the application, finding the applicant's evidence regarding his pre-accident responsibilities and post-accident needs to be inconsistent, contradictory, and lacking credibility.
The applicant failed to establish on a balance of probabilities that he suffered a substantial inability to perform his caregiving and housekeeping duties.
